New York Yankees: The Rocky Road to Arizona, Temps, Cactus, and other obstacles

The New York Yankees may become the Pheonix Yankees if the MLB has its way. That is if the idea worked out between Federal Health officials and MLB comes of fruition. This writer feels this is ill-thought on the part of MLB. The most significant obstacle to playing in Arizona is the temperature. The average temperature in May is 94, in June 104, and in July 106 degrees.

These temperatures are only averages; many days, the temperature goes to 120 degrees and higher. And that’s not to mention the Monsoons that start in June bringing more heat, humidity, thunderstorms, hail, and flooding.
